'trouble' is the definition.
(both can mean to bother or harass)

'little beast getting a saint' is the wordplay.
'little beast' becomes 'mole' (mole is a kind of beast. I am not sure about the 'little' bit.).
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a saint' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'mole'+'st'='MOLEST'

'in' is the link.
